Motorad 7449-190 Engine Coolant Thermostat
Motorad Fail-Safe Thermostat for Chrysler and Dodge
The Motorad Fail-Safe Engine Coolant Thermostat, part number 7449-190, is built for Chrysler and Dodge cooling systems that require a 192 degree F thermostat with OE-style sealing. It uses OEM-quality materials and a copper case with wax compound for quick reaction to coolant temperature changes.
Compatible With 1998-2010 Chrysler and Dodge applications including Chrysler 300, Sebring, Cirrus, Concorde, Intrepid, and Dodge Avenger, Charger, Magnum, Ram 2500, and Stratus. This part cross-references 74491 and P7449-190 for the same application.
Key Features
- Motorad Fail-Safe design locks open if overheating occurs
- 192 degree F thermostat calibration for OE-specified temperature control
- Copper case and wax compound for responsive coolant temperature changes
- Offset design with air relief valve
- Rubber gasket/seal included
- Jiggle pin weep hole for air bleeding during service
- OE-style seals included where applicable
Detailed Description
Motorad 7449-190 is an engine coolant thermostat engineered for Chrysler and Dodge vehicles that need stable coolant regulation and OE-style fitment. The Fail-Safe line is designed to remain open after an overheating event, helping coolant continue to circulate instead of trapping heat in the engine. The 192 degree F rating matches OE-specified temperature control for listed applications, including Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger models.
The thermostat features a copper case, wax compound, offset design, air relief valve, and a rubber seal for proper housing sealing. The sealing flange measures 2.13 inches outside diameter with a 0.05 inch flange thickness, and the unit includes one seal. Part number 7449-190 is also referenced as 74491 and P7449-190.
What This Thermostat Helps Address
- Engine overheating caused by a thermostat that no longer opens correctly
- Coolant temperature swings that affect drivability and heater performance
- Slow warm-up or inconsistent operating temperature
- Air trapped in the cooling system after thermostat service
- Seal leakage at the thermostat housing interface
Installation Notes and Tips
Install this thermostat in the correct orientation for the housing design and verify the air relief valve and jiggle pin weep hole are positioned as required by the application. Clean the sealing surfaces before assembly and replace coolant according to service procedure after installation. Confirm the vehicle uses the listed 192 degree F specification before ordering.
